Kanye West is once again at the center of controversy after making offensive remarks about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins during his ongoing Twitter rant. The rapper’s comments, in which he referred to the children as mentally disabled, sparked immediate backlash online.
While Kanye later deleted the tweet, he admitted that his decision wasn’t driven by remorse but rather by fear of his account being suspended. "I didn’t take it down because I’m a good person," he stated, "but because of the POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED."
Kanye’s strained relationship with Jay-Z has been well-documented over the years. The two were once close collaborators, but their friendship soured, with Kanye publicly airing his grievances. In a 2018 interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Kanye expressed disappointment over Jay-Z and Beyoncé skipping his wedding, saying, "I was hurt about them not coming to the wedding. I understand they were going through some things, but if it’s family, you’re not going to miss a wedding."
Now, Kanye is framing his resentment as a sense of betrayal, revealing more about his feelings in a series of new tweets. "I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD. I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP. LIKE I WANTED FAMILY IN THIS MUSIC S*. I’D RUN ON STAGES THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A SLIGHT."**
He continued, referencing multiple grievances, including Jay-Z choosing Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl over him and past comments about his political views:
"HOV NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING, HIM PUTTING KENDRICK ON THE SUPERBOWL OVER ME OR EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO SHT, TAKING JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT ON DONDA. I FELT LIKE BOTH HIM AND HIS WIFE COULD HAVE HELPED ME HAVE MORE LEVERAGE WITH MY KIDS. THEY COULD HAVE USED THEIR CULTURAL POSITION TO NOT JUST WATCH THE KARDASHIANS RUN ME OVER. S HURTS, SO F*** BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F*** ME."**
